Now... in person and online consultation
Dear Health Seeker,
I imagine you’re alarmed with the level of disease in the world today, especially in countries that have abundant material resources.
Chronic diseases are so prevalent in industrialized nations, that few people will make it to the age of 40 without experiencing some significant chronic symptoms.
For example--and this may be news to you--here are the top three causes of death in the United States:
#3: Cancer
#2: Heart Disease
#1: Iatrogenic Complications
What was that last one???
Iatrogenic complications are complications caused by the therapies being used to cure the problem!
That’s right, shocking statistical evidence cited by several MDs and PhDs in a study released by the Nutrition Institute of America October 2005, shows that the American medical system is the leading cause of death and injury in the United States.
According to the NIA's report, over 784,000 people die annually due to medical mistakes. Comparatively, the 2001 annual death rate for heart disease was 699,697 and the annual death rate for cancer was 553,251.
Over 2.2 million people are injured every year by prescription drugs alone and over 20 million unnecessary prescriptions for antibiotics are prescribed annually for viral infections.
The report also shows that 7.5 million unnecessary medical and surgical procedures are performed every year and 8.9 million people are needlessly hospitalized annually!
Based on the results of NIA's report, it is evident that there is a pressing need for an overhaul of the entire medical system.
The findings, described as a "revelation" by Martin Feldman, MD, who helped to uncover the evidence, are the product of the first comprehensive studies on iatrogenic incidents.
Never before has any study uncovered such a massive amount of information with regard to reporting iatrogenic injuries.
Carolyn Dean, MD, a physician and author who also helped to uncover the findings said,
"I was completely shocked, amazed, and dismayed when I first added up all the statistics on medical death and saw how much allopathic medicine has betrayed us."
Unfortunately, you're not likely to find any masters in holistic healthcare at the doctor's office, though more and more doctors are taking a more holistic approach in medicine, and growing to respect the natural healing ability of alternative medicine.
My Holisitc Approach In Medicine
I’ve been studying meditation and holistic healthcare since high school. Many people comment on how lucky they think I am to have discovered my passion in life so early on, and I couldn’t agree more!
I’m passionate about helping people move towards optimal health. I’ve been trained by masters in holistic healthcare in the United States and abroad, and I have gained clinical experience in exceptionally varied environments.
At the age of 22, I was the youngest teacher selected for the teaching faculty of the California College of Ayurveda, the nation’s leading Ayurvedic educational organization.
(Ayurveda is the "father of holistic healthcare," by antiquity, and is one of the most complete systems in natural health care and alternative medicine.)
Prior to beginning my studies in holistic health, I had already accumulated a host of health issues, and I was only 17 years old!
I experienced:
- chronic digestive issues,
- joint pain and cracking,
- back pain,
- variable energy levels and fatigue,
- and mental fogginess.
Through integrating the holistic health principles that I learned and the natural healing ability of alternative medicine, I was able to alleviate these symptoms and restore my health.
This holistic approach in medicine wasn’t as easy as learning and then immediately effortlessly making changes.
I have recieved a lot of support along the way...
...and now I know what it takes to integrate healthy habits into our lives. I’ve done it myself, and I’ve helped many others do it for themselves.
Now I'm expanding my reach and offering convenient natural healing through online consultation
in addition to my traditional in person practice.
My definition of a "holistic approach in medicine" is: a medical system that addresses an individual’s unique physical, psychological, and spiritual needs for optimal health and healing.
I offer this level of complete health care to each and every one of my patients.
People that choose me for their holistic healthcare support may have a variety of different ailments and chronic conditions, or they may have relatively good health and want to take it to the next level.
Whether in person or via online consultation, I take a full case history, including:
- family health history,
- constitutional assessment,
- review of symptoms,
- lifestyle and routines, and
- any medications or supplements you are currently taking.
In person, I am able perform a tongue and pulse assessment, but I am also capable of making a sound diagnosis and creating an effective treatment program from the information you send me by online consultation alone.
All of this information gives me a picture of your overall health and what things you are doing that are helping you stay healthy or are making you sick.
Perhaps most importantly, I ask you to define the health goals that you would like support in reaching.
Next, we create a holistic healthcare program that addresses your individual needs and you take your first steps toward optimal health.
Recommendations may include:
- diet and eating habit changes,
- lifestyle adjustments,
- custom herbal remedies and natural health care products,
- meditation, yoga, and breathing practices,
- and exercise recommendations.
Let's be honest: if it were as easy as knowing what things were good for you and doing them, you'd probably be significantly healthier!
Because I know it’s not always easy to integrate healthy habits into our lives, at the end of each consultation I remind all of my patients of the same essential information:
“One of two things will happen before we speak next:
- you will either have integrated these recommendations…
- ...or not.
If you’ve integrated them, great! We’ll see the results and keep going.
If not, that’s absolutely fine too...
...because then we will simply ask the question, ‘What got in the way of integrating these recommendations?’
You will learn invaluable information about what is keeping you from optimal health, and I will help you overcome any hurdles.”
I am amazed by how only a couple of small changes to my daily routine have made such a remarkable difference in my health. I feel it was your compassion for my unique state of being that helped me to feel comfortable in making those changes. Your therapies met my needs at my own pace. I can’t think of an individual who couldn’t benefit from this wonderful approach to health. -Susan S.
